SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments
USCIS is proposing to extend the
currently approved USCIS Form I–129
due to the closely approaching Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
expiration date of the form. USCIS has
separately proposed creating three new
OMB-controlled collections of
information to replace the currently
approved single collection approved
(OMB Control Number 1615–0009). 60day Federal Register Notices for the
proposed information collections can be
found at 86 FR 46260, 86 FR 46261, and
86 FR 46263 which all published on 08/
18/2021. The 30-day Federal Register
Notices can be found at 87 FR 2891
which published on 01/19/2022, and at
87 FR 8599 and 87 FR 8601 which both
published on 02/15/2022. USCIS is
currently holding on submission of

those three actions due to needing
additional time for the systems work
required to support the release of these
new versions. USCIS will republish a
Notice in the Federal Register when it
is proposing to recommence these
actions.

(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. USCIS uses the data collected on
this form to determine eligibility for the
requested nonimmigrant petition and/or
requests to extend or change
nonimmigrant status. (See USCIS
response to Question 1 of this
supporting statement, above). An
employer (or agent, where applicable)
uses this form to petition USCIS for an
alien to temporarily enter as a
nonimmigrant. An employer (or agent,
where applicable) also uses this form to
request an extension of stay or change
of status on behalf of the alien worker.
The form serves the purpose of
standardizing requests for
nonimmigrant workers and ensuring
that basic information required for
assessing eligibility is provided by the
petitioner while requesting that
beneficiaries be classified under certain
nonimmigrant employment categories. It
also assists USCIS in compiling
information required by Congress
annually to assess effectiveness and
utilization of certain nonimmigrant
classifications.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection I–129 is 294,751 and the

2.34 hours; the estimated total number
of respondents for the information
collection E–1/E–2 Classification
